Life, man.
So here I am again. Looking back at the past and thinking about the changes that are coming soon, all at the same time. I would suppose some of the biggest news would be that I'm now engaged. :P That was exciting and fun when it happened...2 months ago. lol Sorry, journal. We just don't keep in touch like we should. ;) That leaves a wedding and honeymoon to plan, some serious shopping to do, which of course means some serious saving of money to do before that, and there's also the wedding party. Most of those positions are already filled as far as we're concerned. We just haven't formally asked the participants yet. We're lucky enough to be surrounded by some great people though so it wasn't that hard to sort out. Actually, I take that back. We're not lucky. We just made good decisions in who to surround ourselves with. And we found that there were more people waiting to love and support us than we'd thought. We just needed to give them the chance to do it. As it turns out, not everyone will disappoint you when you give a little trust. It's a shame it took so long to meet people who prove that. But now that I have them, I don't know what I ever did without them. But I know one way I'll be letting them know they're important to us. ;) Then again, I think they already know. :D
I'll be wrapping up my second college degree soon. That's exciting! Even more exciting is that there are already job prospects to look into when the time comes. I'm not the kind of person to just assume anything is a sure thing because that's when you get surprised but, I feel confident. The optimism I can have about the future right now has really been a saving grace on those days where work may have not been so pleasant and then I had to follow it up with an all nighter working on some essay for school. But nonetheless, it'll be paying off soon. The key things that I've hoped to gain so much from by attributing my time and energy to them will be paying off soon, personally and professionally. I'm wise enough to know that good times don't last forever so basically I'm hoping this entry will serve as a reminder in the future to just let go and enjoy it while I can. Then maybe when bad times come along (as they will, you're in denial if you believe otherwise) then I'll be able to remind myself what a little optimism and planning can do and I'll move forward. No one ever accomplished anything by sitting still and whining. "A rolling stone gathers no moss" and all that jazz, right? That's life, man.
